Ho'opono - by Manulani Aluli Meyer (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Ho'opono at its basic center is the discipline of speaking and living truth and goodness. Here is the lesson of this collection of ideas. Pono is a tool to understand self, collectively, and so we need others for this practice. We need land, challenges, siblings, work, and neighbors. We need disgruntled coworkers, unhappy cousins, critical parents, and impatient clients. Can you see the picture? We emerge mutually and grow when it's difficult.

Hoʻopono: Mutual Emergence takes you on a journey of self-discovery by affirming, renewing, and expanding your understanding of the world through nurturing your relationships with yourself and others, whether friends, family, rain, plants, or all that surrounds you. We simply need to be mindful of ourselves, others, and ʻāina to grow, especially during times of hardship. This is what our Kūpuna have taught us for generations, and this is why Dr. Manulani Aluli Meyer shares with us this second installment of collected writings. Itʻs a gift and a reminder that ancestral knowledge has always been the source from which we, Moana people, heal and evolve as a collective.
